    Gringo got a reaction from Wolfie in Yankee Doodle Derby   
    Currently the CEO of Derby County is Pearce, not Mel Morris who at this point in time only remains as the owner and sole shareholder.
    In a UK company the CEO is responsible for the day to day running of all aspects of that company including communication and strategy, so I suggest you direct your bile if you must at the appropriate individual. 
    I would think that the decision not to give a running commentary on every minutiae of the club is an easy one to make as an owner, if for instance you are going through chemo and/or some other debilitating treatment and catching covid at the same time.
    FYI Mel teamed up with Rick Parry and the EFL to support the "Big Picture" initiative (https://talksport.com/football/efl/773110/Derby-owner-mel-morris-defends-efl-rick-parry-project-big-picture/),which would have been as follows;
    The Premier League to be reduced from 20 to 18 clubs.
    The EFL Cup and the Community Shield to be scrapped.
    16th placed Premier League club to join a play-off with Championship teams in third, fourth, and fifth.
    Nine Premier League clubs (Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Man United, Man City, Southampton, Tottenham, West Ham) to be given special power over rule changes, broadcasting rights, and even club takeovers.
    Creation of a $450 million rescue fund for EFL clubs. 
    25% of Premier League annual revenue (instead of just 4%) to go to EFL clubs, and scrapping of parachute payments (money given to clubs when they are relegated).
    Which given the comments on this site a lot on here would support, especially the removal of parachute payments and a MUCH bigger share of TV revenues.
    You never put facts in your "opinions" just bile and vitriol never anything to back up your opinions.

    I missed the word overall in front of running. 
    My post was in support of Mel Morris who according to many document leaks on the internet had very serious health issues over the past 12 months including in one document which was headed as an "offer for sale memorandum"  which contained the statement that he was suffering from cancer earlier last year and undergoing treatment, I therefore get angry and take exception to assertions that he has gone missing has lost interest and is lacking in communication with a very hostile subset of supporters, all of whom appear to pile on without quoting anything other than their opinions which invariably are suppositions about conjecture.
    Give the guy a break.

    Regarding Mel and your assertion that he was responsible for the accounts submitted to the EFL, I am sure he would be the first to admit he is not an accountant and that it was a job best left to the CFO at the time Mr Pearce obviously.
    Here is what Mel said earlier this year in February " I’ve got a few other health issues as well. I’ve had a few bits chopped off here and there, from my bowel and my back, that haven’t been helpful.’ " so my comments were not supposition but based on a document I thought very credible the selling agent was a French financial house and as such perfect English not likely, and an interview with Mel available in the media.
    FWIW  they do not remove part of your bowel unless it is serious and is usually accompanied by Chemo  and I speak from some great experience with a close friend who had such a diagnosis and the chemo associated with this particular disease is very brutal. Also the need to remove part of the bowel would be stage 2 which almost  always is accompanied by Chemo.
